Ive got a feeling in my bones its going to be good weather, as so far everything is falling into place for my stag weekend at Glastonbury....

1) Great turn-out. 14 - 12 of which have never been

2) The one artist I have always wanted to see at Glastonbury decides this year of all years is the year he is going to play

3) So 3 MUST be that it is going to be amazing weather.

Its all fate - destined to make it the best year ever just for me, and my stag week!

or on the other hand it could chuck it down..... :D

Although Metcheck seems hopeful and near comical at the moment lets look at the weather forecasting facts before we slag them.......

Jackone is giving the start of the fest an 8/10

Steve Murr is also giving an 8/10

And Metcheck are actually being somewhat conservative with the temps even with blazing sunshine all day every day.

Remember a 10/10 is a heatwave ffs and we're on an 8 just a week and a bit before, things are looking damn good! "But hey this is the monsoon season" I hear you yell (aggressively), but the only rain forecast at the mo is the odd quick shower or two.

I have a strong feeling it will be sunny, comfortably warm and we'll all be off our heads and laughing out aloud all festival ;)

Can we have an "I love JackOne/Steve Murr" group on facebook?

It has got to ridiculous proportions that for one month every year I'm on here reading the weather thread, everyday.

So addictive. Gotta be the most addictive thread on the whole wide interwebby.

And now that "one ginormous humdinger of a hot mother fecker" looks more and more likely, I'm getting all tingly in side.

Imaging sitting on the grass, cider in hand (and stomach), with that first realisation that you are a tiny bit sunburnt as your nose feels hot, the grass is ever yellow ,and the alcohol is working too quickly.

Lovely.

Sadly yes. If I remember rightly, the year of the storm the forecast was great until the Sunday before the festival then gradually deterioriated until by the Friday...well, we all remember. I did not expect rain beyond my wildest imagination but there it was. I'll never forget my Dad ringing me up genuinely concerned at 8am to make sure I was alright.

Knowing all of this doesn't stop me being glued to the weather sites like a prize clown though - excitement is building every day! ;)

It was a good'un though...there is no denying it.....something magic about being in the middle of a field chock full of tents and excitement and being right under the biggest storm I have ever seen.

In the words of a true scouser.

It was boss.

Ive just looked at a forecast and its surly a joke! has nobody told them Im going?

http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/event_...asp?eventID=559

All those suns on the page reminds me of the forecast prior to me arriving in Parisfor a week last year..... it all changed to quite the opposite when I arrived ...and then back to suns when I left

and then there's the time I went florida and they started selling wooly hats fer fooks sake! and the rain !! .. hadnt had weather as bad in years according to some ...

and thats just a couple of examples.

even the local carnival where I live got canceled last year too due to bad weather .... the only year to be canceled .....also the only year I was going because my kids were going to be in theprocession!

I can give plenty more examples to past bad weather + me experiences

anyone go to En-Dorset fest last year ?? lol! .... sorry It was my fault too ;)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
